The Royal Confederation of Lhat is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Regent Feneck Grehfyia with an iron fist, and remarkable for its smutty television, compulsory military service, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.076 billion Lhaticans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Novus Pyra. The average income tax rate is 40.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lhatian economy, worth 591 trillion Crutas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 145,142 Crutas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Opening a bad email attachment can be a major felony, it's not just poseurs who wear oversized sound-cancelling headphones as they walk the city streets, a cat may look at a king and a dude can look at an ass, and conversion therapy coupons are a popular present for coming of age ceremonies. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Lhat's national animal is the Two Headed Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Carithism.

Lhat is ranked 7,062^nd in the world and 14^th in The Wellspring for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 6,509.46 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
